Poll Reveals How Voters Truly Feel About Kavanaugh

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. A new poll finds that 58 percent of voters in West Virginia think Brett Kavanaugh should be confirmed to the Supreme Court following his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

The Public Opinion strategies poll commissioned by the Judicial Crisis Network found an overwhelming majority of West Virginians (59 percent) thought Kavanaugh’s testimony was more believable than Christine Blasey Ford, who accused the federal judge of sexually assaulting her more than 35 years ago at a drunken high school party. Those who believe Kavanaugh include 81 percent of Republicans, 43 percent of Democrats and 62 percent of Independent voters.

New Poll Shows Missouri Voters Rejecting Sen. Mccaskill for Opposing Kavanaugh

By The Federalist. A new poll finds that Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill has fallen behind her Republican opponent due to her opposition to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

A new poll by Remington Research Group found that of the 1,555 likely Missouri voters surveyed late last week, 48 percent said they were planning to vote for Republican candidate Josh Hawley while 46 percent said they planned to vote for McCaskill.

When asked if McCaskill’s opposition to Kavanaugh affected their voting decision, 49 percent said it made them less likely to vote for the Democratic senator, while only 42 percent it made them more likely to vote for her.

The incumbent Democrat is in a hotly contested race, and support for Hawley has been surging in the polls over the past month. The Real Clear Politics poll average puts Hawley ahead of McCaskill by one point and shows that the race has grown increasingly competitive going into November.

Pastor of Chicago’s First ‘Gay’ Catholic Parish Was Found Dead Attached to ‘Sex Machine’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The last pastor of Chicago’s first officially “gay parish,” Fr. Daniel Montalbano was found dead in his rectory bedroom hooked up to a “sex machine” in 1997, according to the pastor of Montalbano’s second parish in a recent video interview.

According to Fr. Paul Kalchik, the recently-removed pastor of Montalbano’s second parish, Resurrection, Montalbano’s room in Resurrection’s rectory had body-sized mirrors lining one of the walls, and two closets full of homosexual porn materials, which had to be carted out along with the sex machine and destroyed following the discovery of Montalbano’s body.

Fr. Montalbano had been the pastor of the “gay friendly” St. Sebastian parish until 1990, after a fire destroyed part of the interior the year before, leading to a permanent closing of the parish. The priest was then transferred to Resurrection parish. Two different homosexualist groups, Dignity Chicago and the Archdiocesan Gay and Lesbian Outreach of Chicago (AGLO), had used St. Sebastian parish for their meetings and activities with the blessing of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin.

Montalbano was himself a “practicing” homosexual, according to Fr. Kalchik, and had hung a flag with the rainbow “gay pride” colors and a cross superimposed on it in the sanctuary during the Mass after he had first moved to Resurrection in 1991. The flag appears to have been taken from St. Sebastian parish, where it had been used by the LGBT groups there.

Fr. Kalchik made the remarks in an interview with Michael Voris of Church Militant published on September 26, following the priest’s expulsion from Resurrection parish in apparent retaliation for burning the LGBT flag, an act which Cupich had ordered Kalchik to cancel.

Trump’s New Strategy ‘Is Working,’ Afghan Leader Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Despite seventeen years of war with no apparent victory in sight for the U.S-led effort, the chief executive of Afghanistan, Abdullah Abdullah, insists that the Trump administration’s renewed approach to the stalemate conflict “is working.”

“Imagine a situation without that commitment. Things would be very different. It is working,” he told Fox News in an exclusive interview during last week’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. “They announced a strategy and mobilized other countries and partners in NATO. They doubled the size of our Afghan Commandos, they’ve supported our Air Force — which is important in the way of Medevacs transporting the injured. These things are going to take time, but it is working.”

Most significantly, Abdullah said, is the Trump team’s “conditions-based” procedure rather than the Obama administration’s “time-based” plan, which entailed a 2014 drawdown and has been widely condemned to have enabled the Taliban to simply regroup and wait.

“These sorts of policies will yield results; you will see fruition. It won’t be in a matter of days or months, but as long as it’s the right track it will bring results,” he continued, noting that while it is too hard to give an estimated time frame of how long U.S. troops will be needed on the ground, it “won’t be a 50-year engagement.”

Army. Gen. John Nicholson, the former commander of NATO’s Resolute Support – the name given to the Afghan mission after 2014 – echoed such a sentiment of slow success in his final press conference on the state of affairs in Afghanistan in late August, indicating that they were “on a glide path to reduce our forces and eventually close down the mission” and that the “enemy believed we had lost our will to win” prior to President Trump’s welcomed new South Asia effort in August 2017.

McDonald’s Employee Accused of Putting Cleaner in Cop’s Drink

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Kansas McDonald’s worker has been charged with one count of aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer for allegedly putting cleaner in a deputy’s drink.

Trevor Hockaday, 22, was charged Wednesday by Allen County police for putting a peroxide-based cleaner usually used to clean the restaurant’s counters in an Allen County Deputy’s drink on September 12.

According to investigators, the deputy picked up the food from the McDonald’s drive-thru while Hockaday was working. Officials say a short time after drinking the beverage, the deputy experienced flu-like symptoms, KOAM reports. . .

According to the publication, a coworker of Hockaday came forward and said Hockaday added “four little squirts” of the cleaner to the cop’s beverage.

“In today’s day and age, not only us in law enforcement but citizens as a whole, there’s enough going on out there that we have to worry about … now my guys are cautious about going through that drive through,” Murphy said to the Wichita Eagle. “We all chose this line of work to protect and serve. Now my guys have that concern of is my food safe.” (Read more from “McDonald’s Employee Accused of Putting Cleaner in Cop’s Drink” HERE)

The War on Kavanaugh Is All About the Pro-Abortion Left’s Lust for Power

/1 Comment/in , /by

By Life Site News. We may never be able to prove whether Christine Blasey Ford is sincerely misremembering a traumatic event or deliberately slandering a political enemy, but two things are clear: Brett Kavanaugh almost certainly never touched her, and liberals simply don’t care.

They don’t care about the complete lack of evidence that the house party even happened, let alone that Kavanaugh tried to rape her at one. They don’t care about the holes and inconsistencies in Ford’s various retellings. They don’t care that decades’ worth of friends, fellow lawyers and judges, law clerks, and FBI background investigators never found the slightest hint that Kavanaugh was a secret sex predator. . .

As LifeSiteNews covered earlier this week, Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii said outright she was “put[ting] his denial in the context of everything that I know about him in terms of how he approaches his cases,” particularly the fact that “he very much is against women’s reproductive choice.”

There it is: if the Left thinks you pose a threat to Roe v. Wade, basic standards of evidence, fairness, and due process (which isn’t legally binding on appointment confirmations, but was widely accepted as a moral guide until five minutes ago) get thrown out the window. You must be destroyed by any means necessary, with truth, reputational harm, and family anguish be damned.

The abortion lobby was already intensely mobilized against Kavanaugh; now Planned Parenthood is fundraising not merely on the assault narrative but on an even flimsier story from another accuser with a preposterous tale of gang-rape parties that she supposedly kept going to without telling anyone. The Soros-funded Women’s March is pushing #WeBelieveChristine hashtags. (Read more from “The War on Kavanaugh Is All About the Pro-Abortion Left’s Lust for Power” HERE)

Hillary Clinton Repeats Anti-Kavanaugh Talking Point Debunked by Fact Checkers

By Fox News. Hillary Clinton on Wednesday repeated a Democratic talking point about Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s use of the phrase “abortion-inducing drugs” — a claim that has been repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers.

“I want to be sure we’re all clear about something that Brett Kavanaugh said in his confirmation hearings last week,” she tweeted. “He referred to birth-control pills as “abortion-inducing drugs.” That set off a lot of alarm bells for me, and it should for you, too.”

. . .

“Did Brett Kavanaugh call birth control abortion-inducing drugs? No” read the headline of Politifact’s fact check — which rated the statement “False.”

“In Harris’ tweet, Kavanaugh appears to define contraception as abortion-inducing. But the video failed to include a crucial qualifier: ‘They said.’ In fact, he was citing the definition of the religious group Priests for Life. He has not expressed his personal view,” Politifact’s check said. (Read more from “Hillary Clinton Repeats Anti-Kavanaugh Talking Point Debunked by Fact Checkers” HERE)

Mystery: Someone Doxxed Republican Senators During the Kavanaugh Hearings

/0 Comments/in , /by

As Brett Kavanaugh testified Thursday in the Senate, refuting allegations that he sexually assaulted Dr. Christine Blasey Ford when the pair were both teenagers, a mystery was brewing in the House of Representatives, where someone connected to a House computer was “doxxing” select Senators — surreptitiously editing Wikipedia to reveal the private names and addresses of prominent Judiciary Committee Republicans. . .

As soon as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) concluded his fiery remarks describing the Kavanaugh affair as “the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics,” information for Graham and Republican Senators Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch, both of Utah, appeared on the online encyclopedia.

Not all of the information was correct. One phone number purportedly belonging to Graham redirected to a D.C. non-profit called the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League (or SMYAL).

The information was removed almost as quickly as it was discovered, and after a raucous, bipartisan outcry on Twitter, and the bot’s administrators deleted the Tweets. The damage was done, however, and the intent was clear: someone in the House was hoping leftist (or anti-Kavanaugh) activists would jam senators’ cell phones and protest Republicans at their private residences — something several prominent leftists have been suggesting on Twitter.

Watch: Kanye West Stuns Audience on ‘SNL’ Over Pro-Trump Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kanye West, who recently changed his name to “Ye,” showed up to “Saturday Night Live” this weekend with a Make America Great Again hat. It was a preview of what was to come.

Ye performed three songs, “I Love It” and “K.T.S.E.,” and “Ghost Town,” before grabbing the mic once more at the end of the show and telling the audience about his love for President Trump. His speech did not make it on to the television broadcast, but some viewers found it online. . .

“So many times I talk to a white person and [they] say, ‘How could you like Trump, he’s racist?’ Well, if I was concerned about racism I would have moved out of America a long time ago,” West said. . .

Kanye went on to bash the Democrats who he says take “fathers out the home and promote welfare.” As you can see above, it made the cast pretty uncomfortable. Other social media users who had been following Chris Rock’s Instagram found the comedian laughing at West throughout the speech.

West first revealed his love for Trump in April on Twitter. He called the president his brother and tweeted a picture of him of wearing a MAGA hat. It angered plenty of people in Hollywood, but the artist did not back down, even when pressed by late night host Jimmy Kimmel.

An Important Revelation From Dr. Ford’s Testimony

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. Conventional wisdom, as dictated by a preponderance of television pundits, says there were no new facts that came out during the testimony of Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh this week. Many also said Rachel Mitchell, the sex crimes prosecutor that questioned Ford, didn’t achieve much. I disagree.

There was at least one revelation that was shocking and the repercussions from it could be quite substantial. During Dr. Ford’s testimony, she said she didn’t know the Judiciary Committee had offered many, many times for her to testify in private and in California. It was shocking that she didn’t know this because it was widely reported. References to it appeared in numerous news reports. But this is what Ford said during her testimony:

Mitchell: Was it communicated to you by your counsel or someone else that the committee had asked to interview you, and that they offered to come out to California to do so?

Ford Attorney: I’m going to object, Mr. Chairman, to any call for privileged conversation between counsel and Dr. Ford.

. . .

Ford: Can I say something to you? Do you mind if I say something to you directly? I just appreciate that you did offer that. I wasn’t clear on what the offer was. If you were going to come out to see me, I would have happily hosted you and been happy to speak with you out there. I just did not – it was not clear to me that that was the case.

Cory Booker’s 1992 Column Detailing ‘Groping’ of High School Friend Resurfaces

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 1992 column by now-Sen. Cory Booker detailing his “groping” of a high school friend has resurfaced as he pushes to delay Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings over a sexual assault allegation.

In the 1992 column for The Stanford Daily, then-Stanford University grad student Mr. Booker wrote about the New Year’s Eve incident in 1984 that he will “never forget.” In the column, titled, “So much for stealing second,” Mr. Booker said he was 15 when he fondled an intoxicated female friend.

“With the ‘Top Gun’ slogan ringing in my head, I slowly reached for her breast,” he wrote. “After having my hand pushed away once, I reached my ‘mark.’ Our groping ended soon and while no ‘relationship’ ensued, a friendship did. You see, the next week in school she told me that she was drunk that night and didn’t really know what she was doing.”

Mr. Booker said he was conditioned to believe that sex was “a game,” and that hooking up was best achieved through “luck, guile, strategy or coercion,” and lots of alcohol. He wrote about how his attitude toward sex dramatically changed after just a couple years at Stanford, and how his work as a peer counselor listening to the “raw truth from men and women discussing rape” was a real “wake-up call” for the future senator. . .

Mr. Booker, who said this week that it would be “irresponsible” for him to not consider a 2020 presidential run, has been recently ridiculed by conservatives after he appeared to dub himself “Spartacus” by revealing confidential records during the Judge Kavanaugh hearing. The senator now wants the FBI to investigate a claim by a woman who accused Judge Kavanaugh of trying to rape her more than 35 years ago before the hearings continue.

Senator to Vote ‘Yes’ on Kavanaugh Unless ‘Bombshell’ Emerges

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Washington Times. Sen. Lindsey Graham says he plans to vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court absent some unknown “bombshell,” saying the judge’s life has been “ruined” by recent accusations of sexual assault and misconduct when the judge was in high school and college.

“He’s not a stumbling, bumbling drunk. I don’t believe that you could have accomplished what he’s accomplished to have been a serial rapist in high school and stop it for the rest of your life,” Mr. Graham, South Carolina Republican, said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

“Not one person who he’s been in charge of during his legal career has ever said he did anything inappropriate,” Mr. Graham said.

“I think he’s highly qualified. I think he’s a capable man. I think his life was ruined here,” he said. “I’m going to vote for him unless some bombshell comes out that I don’t know about.”

The FBI has re-opened a limited background investigation into Judge Kavanaugh, who forcefully denied during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week that he ever engaged in sexual assault. (Read more from “Senator to Vote ‘Yes’ on Kavanaugh Unless ‘Bombshell’ Emerges” HERE)

Lindsey Graham Wants to Investigate Democrats for Kavanaugh Leak

By The Atlantic. As the FBI starts interviewing people who could have witnessed the alleged sexual misconduct by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Senate Republicans are calling for an investigation to hold Democrats accountable for what they say has become a divisive and unnecessary public debate over sexual misconduct allegations leveled against Kavanaugh.

Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican on the Judiciary Committee who has become the voice of GOP outrage over Kavanaugh’s treatment, called for a probe of who leaked a letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein, the committee’s ranking Democrat, from California psychologist Christine Blasey Ford. Ford alleged in the letter that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were in high school but asked that her complaint be kept confidential.

Ford stated again during her gripping testimony Thursday before the committee that she had not wanted to go public with her account, adding that she only went on the record after reporters from numerous news organizatons, tipped off to her letter, had visited her home and workplace.

“Somebody betrayed her trust for a political purpose,” Graham said Sunday morning on ABC’s This Week. “We’re going to do a wholesale, full-scale investigation of what I think was a despicable process to deter it from happening again.” (Read more from “Lindsey Graham Wants to Investigate Democrats for Kavanaugh Leak” HERE)
